Fantasy Tip: It's not a surprise to see Detroit taking a flier on a reliever who has experienced previous success, although Feliz hasn't been the same since undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2012. His fastball averaged 96.3 mph before the injury but has only averaged 93.7 mph since. Owners in AL-only fantasy leagues may want to keep tabs on him, although it is not yet known what role he will be used in.

Fantasy Tip: Feliz had been on an extended rehab assignment which began Saturday, June 6. He was working his way back from surgery Saturday, May 23, to remove an abscess on his right side. Feliz will return to the bullpen and potentially work his way into save chances. However, since Shawn Tollenson recorded his first save Wednesday, May 20, he has a 1.65 ERA, 11 total saves and a firm grasp on the closer role. Feliz is nothing more than a desperation add in the majority of formats at this point.

Texas Rangers RP Neftali Feliz (side) will start a minor league rehab assignment with Class AAA Round Rock Saturday, June 6, but he could be on the assignment for a while. The team wants Felix to make multiple appearances and get back to peak performance before they activate him from the disabled list. The Rangers have also tweaked Feliz's setup and delivery.

Fantasy Tip: Shawn Tolleson has been a perfect six-for-six in his save chances since Feliz was injured and demoted from the role, so the Rangers aren't rushing Feliz back. It's uncertain if Feliz will even challenge Tolleson for the closer's role when he's back in the majors. Owning both Tolleson and Feliz would be the ideal situation.

Texas Rangers RP Shawn Tolleson was used in the ninth inning in a non-save situation, and Texas relievers retired 12 of the final 13 hitters they faced in the win over the Cleveland Indians. Manager Jeff Banister said after the game that none of the previous bullpen roles will be followed. "I talked to those guys this morning collectively and individually and told them, that as we stand now, nobody has a specific role," Banister said. "We will find the best match for this club one inning at a time. We will treat it that way for now and see where it goes." RPs Ross Ohlendorf and Tanner Scheppers were used in innings six through eight Sunday with RP Neftali Feliz struggling. The Rangers planned to stick with Tolleson in the ninth if the save situation would have been in place. Feliz blew his third save of the season Saturday, May 16, and Texas has blown five saves before the ninth inning this year.

Fantasy Tip: If you're hurting for saves, Tolleson should be the immediate addition off the waiver wire while the Rangers experiment with their late-inning bullpen roles. Feliz could still see save chances here and there, so he's worth hanging onto. Scheppers could also figure into the ninth inning and might be worth speculating on in deep mixed and AL-only leagues. Until we see a clearer picture in Texas, though, this situation could be messy and frustrating for fantasy owners.

Fantasy Tip: Feliz has blown three of nine save chances and has a 5.51 ERA and a 1.71 WHIP thus far. The 27-year-old is a shell of the tease he was early in his career. You have no choice but to hold on to Feliz, but Shawn Tolleson could receive a chance real soon.

Texas Rangers RP Neftali Feliz has given up four hit, three walks and three runs in his last three spring outings, but manager Jeff Bannister is not concerned about his closer. "He says he feels good and is right here he needs to be," Banister said. "Closers are different cats. Some of them get all hopped up and are boiling all the time and some have ice water in their veins. I haven't seen him yet in a real high octane situation yet to get a feel."

Fantasy Tip: After missing all of the 2013 season due to injury, Feliz bounced back with a 1.99 ERA and 13 saves in 30 outings in 2014. He'll need to regain the juice on his heater to return to pre-2013 levels, but Feliz is worth a cheap gamble as a saves option at the end of standard drafts.

Fantasy Tip: Feliz could find himself with plenty of save chances, as when the Rangers win they are unlikely to blow many people out. He could be a fabulous fantasy option in 2015 if he secures the job.
